Pros

Challenging work and a good working team environment with in the departments to build and deliver the best for our customer. Good work/life balance with flexible hours and first level management support. Good compensation package, health Medical, dental, life and 401K.

Cons

Limited advancement within department structure or transfers to other departments are management determined . Work can be repetitive and boring at times until process issues or parts issue develop. Note there is very little room for out of the box thinking for all ideas to improve the process and decrease costs.

Pros

Flexible hours (9/80 and in general). Good work life balance (easy to put in your "40" hours and go home). I had great co-workers in my group. The end product is super cool. Tuition reimbursement was generous. For post-pension people who aren't impacted by the pension freeze the 401k matching and employer defined contribution retirement plan is quite good.

Cons

Promotions are virtually impossible to obtain without changing jobs. Many people are working above their salary grade without promotions to keep costs down. Yearly raises are minimal and generally don't keep up with increasing medical benefit costs let alone inflation. Pay is significantly below market rate in the Silicon Valley. Lots of bureaucracy and road blocks to deal with on a daily basis to accomplish work. If your direct management won't fight for you your minimal chances at promotions and good raises get even more minimal. Lack of new business coming in now does not create growth opportunities.

Pros

Leading technology company. Mission-oriented - with emphasis on delivering value to the warfighter. Interesting work and work environment. Professional co-workers. Good compensation. Emphasis on continuous improvement and education.

Cons

Sometimes stressful. Very performance driven. Benefits are being reduced for people just now joining the company. Training is difficult to get at remote work locations, although company does excellent job providing on-line resources.
